Shrimp Fest Continued...

Our family loves shrimp! And shrimp is low in calories, tastes good, and is high in astaxanthin--an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. So eat shrimp!



This is some panko fried shrimp I cooked up not long ago for our family, and it's always a big hit! I think shrimp must be the most popular type of seafood in the U.S., and if we lived near the ocean I would always buy it fresh, but since we don't, I buy shrimp that has been flash frozen instead. I really don't trust those signs that say (supposedly) "fresh."




This is so easy to cook, takes only minutes, and tastes great! Lightly salt the shrimp, saute it in garlic, butter, and add red pepper flakes and a little white wine. So good over pasta or rice!

                                                                                                                                                   
These kebabs were good! I used lots of turmeric (a great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory) which gave the food a lovely golden color, and I used lots of fresh garlic. 


Shrimp stir-fry made with snap peas, green onions and carrots! I used Hoisin sauce, a little soy sauce, sesame oil, and sprinkled sesame seeds on top after pouring it all over white rice. YUM!
